"define the universe as eternal and cut out the designer"

How handy. Except for the small problem posed by the expanding universe. The universe, seems to have abruptly come into existence at a particular point in time. Every thing that begins to exist in time, must have a cause. If God is eternal, then His existence is outside of time and therefore does not require a beginning.
That's why His name is "I Am That I Am"(Exodus 3:14), the self existent, eternal God. Just defining things in a way that makes you feel better doesn't change anything. Your definitions must also correspond to reality, or they are not valid.
